Aloe Vera: Digestion Smoothie

The stress that comes with the belly pain, bloating, leaky gut and discomfort of digestive issues can literally send a person right into a “meh” existence. I AM VERY familiar with all of this, as I have struggled with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).

A few years ago, I was placed on antibiotics for 9 months that destroyed my gut ecosystem and left me with a digestive mess.  As I am on the journey to improve my health and my digestive brain, I am sharing a smoothie with a secret ingredient that will heal and soothe your gut with each slurp: Aloe Vera.

Foundation Secret for the Summer
We can all agree that nothing makes you look or feel as gorgeous as sun-kissed, skin?!!
From the beginning of the season to the end, showing off that summer skin is what we all look forward to while we’re sunning, funning and beaching! Am I right…or am I right?
But it’s not all bronzing and bathing suits, sun-kissed skin has the potential to become a real beauty hazard. No, I’m not referring to sun damage because I know all my Primal Lifers are using the right products for daily summer care, and before and after sun protection.
I’m referring to “mismatched foundation syndrome”.
Yes, you heard that right! That’s when your golden-glow
and makeup are no longer perfectly paired.

Clean Beauty Series: Lesson #7

It’s well known from extensive research that fragrance is a common sensitizing ingredient for all skin types. Yet, despite this information, fragrance is common in more skincare products than you can imagine.

Many people don’t realize the damage fragrance does to your skin and your body… and if you think you are “safe” because you purchase “unscented” products, think again.

Many synthetic ingredients used in skincare (natural products included, especially water-based skincare) have a horrible odor.

In order to cover up the bad odor, so you will apply it to your face or body, companies will use fragrance (the F-word of skincare) to neutralize the bad odor… odor eater chemicals if you will.

Clean Beauty Series: Lesson #6

So, when it comes to your beauty care products, the magic rule of thumb is the first 5 ingredients are the ones that matter the most. After the fifth ingredient everything else is probably below the 1% line. This is where a lot of “questionable and obscure” ingredients hide.

What? 1% line?  What the heck is that?

Simply put, any ingredient that is less than 1% of the total recipe can be listed in any order.  This is a great marketing ploy and a way companies can make you believe the ingredients are “better” than they really are.

How to find the 1% line?

Clean Beauty Series Lesson #8

You take the time to eat healthy, workout, and you do your research to avoid toxins and chemicals in your skincare. You consider yourself “health-conscious” because you “woke up” to the lies of Big Cosmo... but what if I told you Big Cosmo might have you duped yet again!

It’s an infuriating thought – particularly if you’ve gone to the trouble of sourcing natural skincare products free from a range of toxins that can be harmful to your health.

I am here to tell you that your “natural” skincare might be polluted with BPA, phthalates, and more..

Plastic containers leach phthalates into your products... we know that. It has been proven. How much you absorb and the devasting and damaging effects they have on your health are unknown, yet it is 100% preventable. This is why you must pay attention to what your skincare is contained in.
